Description
Hi,
Attempting to alter the page setup of a print composer, I'm hit with an immediate crash and minidump.
This occurs both with and without an empty layout.
Thanks.

(backup and) remove .the qgis2 folder, restart qgis and try again.

I've found the cause, if the Windows service "Print Spooler" is not running when QGIS starts, QGIS will crash.
However, if the service is running when QGIS starts, but stopped whilst QGIS is still open, QGIS will display the following,
Not sure why the service had been stopped in my case, but I guess QGIS crashing outright isn't intended.
Thanks.

Can you test with 2.12? I think this should be fixed now...
